Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau with a family. The sector falls under the Centre de services scolaire de Laval and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board; Collège Montmorency and the Université de Montréal's Laval campus are in Laval-des-Rapides. The Centre de la nature is next door (Saint-Vincent-de-Paul); in the sector, Parc Bernard-Landry, the Centropolis with its restaurants and venues, Place Bell (arena and shows), the Cosmodôme and the Rivière des Prairies banks in Pont-Viau. Laval's three orange-line stations, Montmorency (terminus), De la Concorde and Cartier, are all in the sector; De la Concorde is also an exo Saint-Jérôme line station. Pro: The metro on foot (Montmorency, De la Concorde, Cartier), the Centropolis, Carrefour Laval, and a recent condo with amenities. Con: Urban and noisy on its boulevards (Saint-Martin, Le Corbusier, highway 15): quiet is found on the inner streets. For those who want the metro on foot, a recent condo with services and the Centropolis downstairs; for families looking for a bungalow with a lot in Chomedey one bridge from Montreal; for first-time buyers targeting Pont-Viau. Less so for those who want calm and nature: central Laval is urban, noisy on its boulevards, and its large condos are negotiable.
